Q: I had sex with a guy recently and now he’s avoiding me. Normally, I wouldn’t care too much. It wasn’t that great anyway. But I left some expensive earrings over his house and I really need them back because they weren’t even mine. I’ve texted him a few times and called. Nothing in reply. I’m this close to just showing up at his house but I think that’s going overboard. How do I do handle this? A: This really sucks. I mean, either…
Gorge on this: Cobb Salad Outta Pocket: $16.95 Where: Junior’s | 386 Flatbush Avenue, Downtown Brooklyn Why: You probably only associate Junior’s with its Cheesecake – well, don’t anymore.

Q: I’m dating an up-and-coming music artist and so far, so good. A little while ago he was approached to do a reality dating show where different women will be vying for a date with him. When he first told me, I laughed it off and said go for it. After all, the exposure would be great for his career and I’m definitely not the jealous type. It’s just TV and nobody believes in that stuff anyway. My friends think I’m crazy for being okay with this…
